Getting reaquainted with Crocheting

I used to crochet. I haven't for many years now. My grandma taught me when I was a late teen. I treasure the things she has taught me. Not long ago someone was giving away a set of crocheted dish cloths on their blog. I can't remember where or whose blog! I thought they were so pretty. I tried to win them. I had thoughts of buying a set if I didn't win them. I did not win. I really don't need to spend a lot of extra money right now. But I love handmade. Then the light bulb went off. Michele you do know how to crochet. How's that for a big smack in the forehead!

I took myself off to Walmart and bought some cotton. They had pretty slim pickin's as far as colors go. No worries I have since been to AC Moore I seriously need to stay out of that store! and found some very pretty and hip colors. I'm pretty rusty after not crocheting for so long. I had to brush up on some of my stitches.

Here is the end result. While it is not perfect, I think it came out pretty well. Do not ask me what that brown speck on the lower left side is! Justin and Kaden were fascinated with the crochet hook. I based my pattern loosely on this one at house+made. I am feeling a few Christmas gifts coming on. What do you think? Is this something you would enjoy/use?
